King's Speech: hold the regime to save the monarchy
Felipe VI has repeated the old formulas of a parliamentary monarchical regime reactionary and outdated. On the eve of the trial to "Process" in the Supreme Court, King Philip VI, It has come to the ceremony offices to 68 promoting judicial career, accompanied by Dolores Delgado (Minister of Justice), Fernando Grande Marlasca (Minister of interior), Carlos Lesmes (President of the CGPJ) and María José Segarra (Solicitor general).
During the last 20 years the act has been carried out at the headquarters of the Judicial School in Barcelona. Nevertheless, this time he was transferred to Madrid, relying on 40 Constitution's anniversary. The truth is that Felipe is not comfortable in Barcelona because every time you visit, It is received by a crowd that repudiates the reactionary monarchy with mass actions.
In the event the King has stressed several times that the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) features "Full legitimacy" and the individual performance of new judges and judges "It must help to maintain and strengthen". In addition to defending the complete independence of the body without forgetting the full separation of powers which is based, extolling the need to respect the Constitution and judgments, in order to maintain an effective democracy and keep according to the rule of law.
... Felipe not comfortable in Barcelona because every time you visit, It is received by a crowd that repudiates the reactionary monarchy with mass actions.
But how we will respect a court ruling like the herd and other court decisions that go beyond the rights of women? How can we respect the Gag Law and Counterterrorism used to silence and punish indiscriminately to reviewers politically different?
Although not name at any time the status of Catalunya, King has positioned stressing the need to respect the Constitution under any circumstances, and this fundamental text "Guarantor of the supreme values of a free society" . How will the constitution guarantee a free society, no position in favor of self-determination of peoples? How are you going to ensure a free society having political prisoners Catalan, with judgments on fabricated charges?
Abide by the Constitution of '78 supposed to hold a GCJ is far from being independent, and of course that there is far too real separation of powers…
We can not lose sight, which today, the form of government in which the king is head of state Felipe, who "Moderates" the functioning of institutions and assumes international representations, It is a form of government that is implanted after a transition in which the Francoist elites were at the head.
I do not think this minor question after the ceremony offices, in which the King expressed the need to remain committed to a constitutional values that were imposed on Spanish, since I never took place a truly democratic constitutional process in which all freely and we all decided what would be the new regime thereafter.
Progress must be made in the mechanisms of removal and revocation of judges who have ties to political interests and really deviate from the interests of 99% population.
Abide by the Constitution of '78 supposed to hold a GCJ is far from being independent, and of course that there is far too real separation of powers (at the end are the same interests that pull the strings of each). Well, let's not forget the shameful failure mortgages, or PP-PSOE pact to appoint president of the CGPJ Marchena. Without a doubt, All this proves its impartiality and credibility of the judiciary today is losing in the State Spanish.
For all this, from SOL we believe it is necessary to give a profound answer to the undeniable politicization of the judiciary, to refrain from acting in defense of the most privileged. To achieve this real democratization of the judiciary, It is necessary to change values and mechanisms, in which citizens are involved and full, submitting to his will the appointment of judges throughout the judicial structure, applying direct vote.
Progress must be made in the mechanisms of removal and revocation of judges who have ties to political interests and really deviate from the interests of 99% population. And feminist groups recognize as part of juries to gender attacks, among other measures that trigger a true democracy in Spain and make, rather than be a need to commit ourselves as citizens constitutional values, turn around, and do what, through a Constituent Assembly Free and Sovereign, They conform these constitutional values and respect the rights of workers and, women and people.
